RB Leipzig vs VfL Wolfsburg Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Wolfsburg dominated Leipzig in their last encounter.

RB Leipzig are all set to take on VfL Wolfsburg in the DFB-Pokal 2024-25 quarter-final at home. The hosts dominated Frankfurt in the round of 16 to get to the quarterfinals for the German Cup. Wolfsburg on the other hand easily defeated Hoffenheim in the previous round to get to the last eight.

Although they came with a stunning display in their last DFB-Pokal game, the rest of their season has not been the best. They are in the sixth place when it comes to the Bundesliga standings. RB Leipzig will have to battle hard against Wolfsburg if they plan on getting to the semifinals of the German Cup this season.

VfL Wolfsburg are also in a similar sort of form. They are in the eighth place in the league standings as they have only won nine matches this season. But their performance in the last German Cup fixture was top-notch as they smashed three goals and even went on to maintain a clean sheet.

Players to Watch

Lois Openda (RB Leipzig)

The Belgian forward will be one of the main players in Leipzig’s lineup. He has scored three goals in a couple of DFB-Pokal matches. It will take some help from his fellow teammates that will help him find some space in the opponent’s defence. Lois Openda will be looking to score a goal or two that can help his side get through.

Jonas Wind (VfL Wolfsburg)

The 26-year-old forward has been in decent form this season. He has scored a decent number of goals in the league so far and also scored a couple of goals in the German Cup competition for Wolfsburg. He can lead his side to another win if he is able to net in some goals for his side.
